Those desiring to enjoy time in the great outdoors will appreciate this location for the abundant recreational opportunities right from the front door.

This special retreat property features a well-maintained yet modest home, serving as a cozy retreat for the current owners for many years. While providing a comfortable accommodation immediately for a new owner to enjoy the property and area, the property invites the possibility of crafting your own dream cabin on the additional parcel of land adjacent to the existing home and included in this offering.
